Summary

In the Linux kernel, the amdkfd driver has a QID bit leak in pqm_create_queue(). When kernel memory allocation fails during the first queue creation, the function returns early without clearing the QID bit, causing a permanent leak of queue slots. The fix changes the error path to goto err_allocate_pqn to always call clear_bit.

Risk Assessment

Prolonged operation could exhaust all queue slots, preventing new queue creation and potentially causing service disruption.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix (commit a107f74c38edbb80d6ab64dcaeeb292c14e9779f).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix QID bit leak in pqm_create_queue() When MES is enabled and amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_kernel_mem() fails during the first queue creation for a process, pqm_create_queue() returns early via 'return retval' without going through the err_create_queue cleanup label. This means clear_bit(*qid, pqm->queue_slot_bitmap) is never called, leaving the reserved QID bit permanently set in queue_slot_bitmap. Over time this leaks QID slots, potentially exhausting all available queue slots. Fix this by replacing 'return retval' with 'goto err_allocate_pqn' so that clear_bit() is always called on the error path without touching the uninitialized pqn pointer.
